If your six-pack—or lack of one—has been on your mind recently, listen up! Whether you’re looking to keep your tummy toned or you need a serious touch-up for bikini season, the Abs Diet Online customizable workout might be the answer to your paunch’s prayers. And would you believe that you don’t need any of the scary equipment?

The truth is, it takes very little—in terms of equipment—to get fit. What it really requires is time, know-how, and effort. Men's Health fitness adviser BJ Gaddour, CSCS, and CEO of StreamFIT.com, took all of these major obstacles into account when he created the customizable Abs Diet EXTREME Workout, a “dumbbell complex” that requires very little equipment and maximizes every second of your precious workout time. You can even do it in the comfort of your own home!

This workout method allows you to get in the toughest workout of your life using just a single pair of dumbbells. For women, all that’s needed is a pair of 8, 10, or 12-pound dumbbells. (That’s roughly a $25 to $50 investment, depending on the type of dumbbell you purchase.)

To start, you do three exercises, back-to-back-to-back, for 30 seconds each without resting. Then you catch a breather for 90 seconds, and repeat for several rounds. You can also alternate between complexes of different exercises. But that’s for starters. To make the workouts even harder, you can reduce the rest between rounds. This increases the intensity for even better results—for both fitness and for fat loss.

An important point: These complexes aren’t comprised of random exercises that have been thrown together. Gaddour carefully chooses the movements so that the weights are challenging for each exercise, and to allow a smooth transition between moves while avoiding excessive “cross-fatigue.” This enables you to work your hardest on each exercise for the entire 30 seconds, but still be able to go several rounds.

The upshot: You work your entire body from head to toe, and at a high intensity. “This is called ‘metabolic resistance training,’ and it’s the most effective way to quickly burn calories and boost your metabolism,” says Gaddour. “You can do it almost anywhere, including your living room, and you don’t have to waste time switching from machine to machine.”
